Reported No formal allegation
327 stock purchases are dated April 8, 2025 — one trading day before the tariff pause — and first became public 14 months later
The purchases, including Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Nvidia, appeared in the annual report rather than a timely transaction report.

This project's direct parse of the annual report finds exactly 327 transaction rows dated April 8, 2025. NBC News reported these were previously undisclosed purchases made one day before the surprise announcement pausing many 'Liberation Day' tariffs. The filing records dates only, not times: it cannot show whether any trade preceded or followed any internal deliberation about the pause.
What this establishes
- Date-stamped purchases of broad-market and large-technology securities one trading day before a market-moving policy reversal.
- That these transactions were not disclosed until the annual report filed June 29, 2026.
What this does not establish
- That Trump directed the purchases or that anyone involved had advance knowledge of the April 9 announcement.
- Intra-day ordering: the disclosure has no timestamps.
- Profit or loss on the positions: values are disclosed only in bands.
